Wow Thanks Jonathan!
I followed the link you sent. The version that's installed is File name:
libflashplayer.so
        Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31
        
        Does that sound right?  This is what I have and this is what the
        link sends me to.  So it looks like I have the right one...but I
        guess I'll have to wait and see (although I don't think I'll
        have to wait long) if I have the problem again. So you had the
        problem too? This is really a pain...it's not as bad on Ubuntu
        as it was in SUSE...but it's bad enough.
        
Hay...what's the best method to installing the .tar.gz files?
